Volpe said he expects to remain out of the lineup for Monday's series opener versus the Nationals before returning to the starting nine Tuesday, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

After going 0-for-3 and committing his 17th error of the season in Saturday's 12-1 loss to Boston, Volpe was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 7-2 win, though he entered the contest in top of the eighth inning as a defensive substitution at shortstop. The 24-year-old didn't see an at-bat in the contest, and he remains in the midst of a cold spell at the plate, batting .121 with five extra-base hits over his last 19 contests. Jose Caballero appears likely to get another start at Volpe's expense Monday, but the Yankees still seemingly view Volpe as their top option at shortstop, despite his ongoing struggles at the dish and on defense.
